<p>Indie band Coldplay are performing an intimate &#8220;hidden gig&#8221; in Liverpool.</p>
<p>The band, who will do a second hidden gig in Newcastle on Monday night, decided to put on the shows to draw attention to the &#8220;hidden problem of homelessness&#8221; and to raise funds for the charity Crisis.</p>
<p>The band is playing at Liverpool&#8217;s Royal Court Theatre and is being supported by the Choir with No Name, a vocal group made up of homeless people and others on the fringes of society.</p>
<p>Crisis said more than £238,000 had been raised by Coldplay fans so far.</p>
<p>Leslie Morphy, Chief Executive of Crisis, said: &#8220;To have the backing of Coldplay brings something unique to Crisis this Christmas.</p>
<p>&#8220;We know that their support and millions of fans will help shine a light on the thousands of hidden homeless people we strive to help year round who are all too often forgotten &#8211; particularly at Christmas when we know the pain of homelessness can be particularly acute.&#8221;</p>
<p>Both gig venues were picked by Coldplay for their intimate nature, and each have a capacity of around 1,000 people.</p>
<p>Good friends of the band Ant &#038; Dec will be travelling home to Newcastle for Christmas and have offered their compering services for the concert at Newcastle&#8217;s Journal Tyne Theatre tomorrow.</p>
<p>As with all Crisis Hidden Gigs the venues remained a secret until 24 hours before the band were due to step on stage.</p>
